Solomon’s bill to deliver better communication between law enforcement and crime victims passes House

Today, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed legislation (H.B. 627) authored by state Rep. Jared Solomon to set up a public safety resident communications program within the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.

The program is designed to improve and modernize communication between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

“This bill will deliver victims of crime with more timely information about victim and law enforcement resources they need in the hours after becoming a victim of crime,” said Solomon, House Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness Committee chairman. “In addition, it gives police departments the opportunity to get feedback about the interaction they had with communities. Together this bill will make our communities safer,” said Solomon, House Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness Committee chairman.

The bill now moves to Senate for consideration.
